We're pretty excited to announce our next CD release, the homonymous album by Italian Heavy-Psych masters Manthra Dei! Coming this october, also on vinyl by Nasoni Records!
Here's the first track off the album, Stone Face, a majestic trip into space/psych/prog areas. Enjoy it!

More than a band,
Manthra Dei are a bunch of friends in love with lysergic deserts and
forged by nights spent listening cassettes of teenage idols.
Spontaneous, raw and mind-tripped tunes get pierced together by their
bipolar personalities and become straight as headbanging on a
kick-ass riff.

Michele, Paolo
and Brano started back in 2009 as an instrumental power-trio that
brought them to self-produce an EP with two log trips for almost 40
minutes of improvisations. Soon after, Maestro Paolo T. (yes, a real
Maestro) joined them to start a long list of live-shows with Karma to
Burn, Yawning Man, Vibravoid among many others up to a memorable
Pietrasonica Festival in 2011.

After that the
band decided to fix their jams into an album and consequently to get
closed in a rehearsal room for almost two years … at least up to
2013, when Nasoni Rec – Colour Haze, Machine, Siena Root anyone? –
decided to cast on vinyl their recordings. CD edition was taken in
charge by a young Italian label, Acid Cosmonauts, that spread the
world with a limited edition of 300 copies of their first
full-length.

What
to find in the album? Hawkwind, Causa Sui, Can, Kyuss, Earthless,
Black Sabbath, Colour Haze, King Crimson, Motorpsycho, Popol Vuh,
Sleep, Goblin, Hypnos69, Jethro Tull, Ozric Tentacles mashed-up with
no criteria but with horns up against the sky.

Definitely not a
stoner album, but I bet anybody to give a definition of this shit!
